Thank you, Linda, for my Sparkgoodies. You are so kind. It has been a wild few days, that's for sure. I have slept most of today, which has been a blessing. The pain is something if one has never been through they would not understand. But, this will pass. Thanks for understanding. God bless ya! Have a wonderful weekend. Your friend, Judi.

Hi Linda. Let me fill you in. I have a dry socket from a tooth extraction and the bone is exposed. Had to have it packed yesterday and will have to be packed twice more. On Antibiotics and in extreme pain. But I'll be OK. Yesterday, also, we had 5 and a half inches of rain in 30 minutes in Mount Juliet, TN. I am lucky because I love on top of the mountain. I do have a creek next to my apartment but did not reach me. God is good. Thank you for asking. Keep me in your prayers, please. I hope your evening is richly blessed. Judi

I moved from Nashville to a small town called Mount Juliet, TN about 18 years ago but since that time my small little town has doubled in size. Still a small town but it continues to grow. Used to be a farm town. I love it here, but I guess I am still a city girl in some ways. But, I can still enjoy the wooded area outside my window with squirrels and rabbits and sometime deer out there. (Sometimes the coyotes show up and I don't like that much.) However about a mile and a half to my west is a new huge shopping mall. The "city" is getting closer all the time.

I am pretty much confined to my apartment but I do my studying of the Word and crossword puzzles and Sudoku puzzles. And of course computer things. Dull life, huh?

Linda, thank you so much for adding me as a friend, and for the lovely goodie note you sent me! Yes, I am truly blessed when I am able to help someone. I truly want to be a vessel for the Lord to reach out with His love and power. Thank you for your encouraging words - I do appreciate them so much! Karen
